Portrait Photography

Hello, dear photo enthusiasts! :) Let's use this beautiful springtime and transform a wall of wild vine leaves into an enchanting natural set where light, texture, styling, and imagination come together to create beautiful imagery filled with nature's mystery and wonder. In this workshop, I invite you to draw inspiration from the work of Kirsty Mitchel and her Wonderland series: [https://www.kirstymitchell.art/wonderland/](https://www.kirstymitchell.art/wonderland/) This workshop is about learning how to create extraordinary images from simple surroundings by using nature, flowers, leaves, colour, to create emotion and a story. Working with a styled model in a styled nature setting, you’ll explore how to turn an ordinary park into something that feels timeless, painterly, and a little bit surreal. You will be able to: 📸 Create nature-inspired portraits using natural surroundings 🌿 Learn how to build visual magic from simple organic elements ✨ Use light, colour, texture, and composition to create a painterly feel 💡 Direct a model to evoke emotion, softness, mystery, and presence 🍃 See how nature itself can become part of the costume, mood, and narrative. Perfect for photographers of **all levels**, who love portraits, visual storytelling, and fantasy aesthetics. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ***Some words about the host - me :D*** I am Jelena, a professional photographer with 16+ years of experience and a former trainer of photography at Nikon Imaging. See my work here: **[www.photosbyjelenka.com](www.photosbyjelenka.com)** It will be my absolute pleasure to co-create with you and expand (or start :)) your photo portfolio. Kindest, Jelena

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
